Abbie Cornish is an Australian actress and rapper known for her versatile performances in film and television. She was born in 1982 in Lochinvar, New South Wales, and is the second of five children. Her mother is Shelley Cornish, and her father is Barry Cornish. Raised on a 70-hectare farm, Abbie grew up surrounded by animals, an experience that contributed to her long-standing commitment to vegetarianism, which she adopted at the age of 13.
Cornish began her entertainment career at the age of 13 after reaching the finals in a competition run by Dolly Magazine. This exposure led to modeling jobs and, eventually, an entry into acting. Her early breakthrough came with the ABC television series Wildside, for which she received the Young Actor Award from the Australian Film Institute in recognition of her performance.
Following her success in Wildside, Cornish was cast in the feature film The Monkey's Mask. Her performance in the 2004 film Somersault earned widespread acclaim and several awards, including honors from the IF Awards, the Film Critics Circle of Australia, the Australian Film Institute, and the Miami International Film Festival. She also starred alongside Hugo Weaving in the award-winning short film Everything Goes the same year.
Abbie Cornish has been praised for her roles in films such as Candy, Stop-Loss, A Good Year, and Elizabeth: The Golden Age. One of her most notable performances came in Bright Star, in which she portrayed poet Fanny Brawne. She also took on the role of Sweet Pea in Zack Snyder’s action-fantasy film Sucker Punch, for which she provided narration.
